Back when I was immobile due to my broken ankle I received a magazine care package from my friends Erin and Matt in Seattle . Of course it included a few gardening magazines, this was my introduction to Gardens Illustrated Magazine from the BBC.
How had I never picked up this magazine before? It’s incredible, beautiful photographs and top-notch writing. I was in love.
I’ve since discovered it’s a little hard to find on the newsstand and I started flirting with the possibility of subscribing. But the price ($84) made that highly unlikely, then a special offer came in the mail, “only” $45. How did they know? If you’ve never picked up a copy of Gardens Illustrated be careful, you to could be hooked!
Hi Loree~~ Teza loves this magazine. I have yet to expose myself to the ensuing addiction. You're not making it any easier. Wait. I take that back. "Only" $45.00? Help me!
ReplyDeleteToo late. I'm hooked, quite hopelessly, in fact.

Oh. Thank you, Loree. Now I need this magazine too. And just when I was REALLY trying to cut back!
ReplyDeleteyes.. It's the best mag.It's the one thing I asked my husband to bring back from his trip to London-So I have the March issue early...
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check it out...
ReplyDeletenice recommendations... thanks!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I could have written this post! Just RUSHED my check for $45 to the PO...
ReplyDeleteregular pilgrimages to Rich's to check out the GI of the month usually lead to a purchase. I can part with $6.95 from time to time, while $84 is out of my league. $45? Hmmmm
ReplyDeleteYup, it's my favorite, along with Pacific Horticulture. These two magazines are obligatory for me - the rest are just for fun!
ReplyDelete...and there's a great GI website, too, with some amazing podcasts. Not that you need another time-sink!
ReplyDeleteGrace, I know! I can't believe that $45 is the bargain price. But when you do the math it's totally worth it!
ReplyDeleteChristine, do you have a subscription then?
Jane, I wonder if the library has it?
Dirty Girl, welcome!
Linda, connections!
How it Grows, you won't be sorry.
Jocelyn, yea! I'm so glad I got that offer.
ricki, god it's been to long since I've been to Rich's!
Kate, the Pacific Horticulture display at the Portland Nursery checkout usually sucks me in.
James, I am always curious to find good gardening podcasts, thank you!
